Cabbage roll soup is easy to make and even easier to eat! If you are a fan of the classic cabbage roll casserole you are really going to love this soup. Plus, it is diet friendly and has even been known to help people stick to their weight loss goals and lose a few pounds. Imagine that! I think I’ll be making myself up a huge pot of this soup and freeze some of it for later. Check out what my pals over at Group Recipes had to say about this recipe:
“I just love cabbage rolls, I have been looking for a way to make them with out rice, as rice swells in your stomach, I am planning on having the vertical sleeve surgery soon and rice is a no no. So my oldest daughter suggested q, I read up on it and it is a perfect replacement for so many things that I eat, I am very excited to try this recipe and switch up the rice for q.”
I. too, love cabbage rolls so this soup was right up my alley.
